The Great Hall was quiet as it normally was in the morning, save for the snores of those who stayed overnight, usually due to drinking themselves to sleep. In one particular table off to the corner of the hall was where one such individual.

While he wasn’t one of the drunks, he was definitely a regular occupant of the room. Finally leaving the clutches of sleep, the orphaned boy slowly stretched from his spot on top of the table. Yawning, he opened an eye to scan the room for other signs of life, one he was most familiar with. It didn’t take long before he saw off at another table was his boar munching on leftover scraps from last night.

He jumped off the table with a smirk, it was good to see that his friend didn’t decide to escape again. That cost him a lesson he was looking forward to. Half jogging over to where Dusty was currently focusing on before picking up the reigns he used to be able to use while riding. But alas, those days were long gone after he grew taller. “Hey boy, guess what time it is?” The boar ignored him and proceeded to crunch on a found chicken bone. ”It’s time to go find something awesome to do!” Dusty snorted and continued to chew the bone as Hammerfist pulled on the lead.

It took some time before the duo made their way down the hazardous staircase. From there Hammerfist walked his fuzzy friend over towards the docks out of habit. He knew Dusty seemed to enjoy himself there, well, he assumed Dusty was a boy. He never thought to check.

Hammerfist didn’t necessarily have anything planned for today, or any day really. But he hoped he would run into one of his peers so he could find out what awesome stuff he missed out on yesterday's lesson.

The fresh sea breeze, normally a welcoming smell for a young viking. But for Spitnose, it usually meant work. And as she was prepping the boat to take sail, it was almost unpleasant to smell it. But there was a brief chance to get some fish before everything went solid ice, and they had to snag it. Unfortunately that meant work, and a lot more of it.

Usually, she didn't expect any visitors down at the docks. Her parents when they had time to actually do fishing themselves, and Drumgut when he convinced them he wasn't a hazard to the ships. But mostly just Crystal, and that thought alone was enough to keep her going. So naturally when she saw a boar shuffling down the docks she paused in her work. Laughing a bit she stood up in the boat. "Hey!" She began waving her arms as a familiar face came in to sight. Wobbling a bit, she got back onto the dock. "Come to see how a real viking works?" This was followed by a laugh and a grin wider than her face. "I didn't see you at the lesson! Everything okay?" She trusted he was well, if he wasn't then he wouldn't be down by the docks. Even the cold winds off the ocean was enough to put a chill in your bones. But hey, no harm in asking!

[ooc] I just realized that Hammerfist would have a lisp because of his missing tooth (so the kind where 's' and 'z' becomes 'th') but I don't feel like editing every single one of my posts. OOPS

Encountering somebody he knew came quicker than expected, and that somebody being one of his fellow Vikings-in-Training was a bonus! He waved back grinning at the girl on the boat. “Hey Spitnose! Out to enjoy the morning as well?” Why else would anyone be up this morning? That’s the reason he always wakes up early.

He pulled Dusty closer to the boat Spitnose was on, meeting her just as she set foot back onto the dock. "Come to see how a real viking works?”

Hammerfist matched her laughter with his response. "Hey! I’m always ready to work!” He calmed down his laughter slightly once the girl voiced concern about him missing yesterday’s lesson. “Oh yeah, I’m fine! You see,” he then looked down to where Dusty was, “Dusty here decided to run off into the forest. But luckily I found him before something else did.” The boar began sniffing at the girl’s boots.

Doing a slight stretch of the shoulders, the boy continued. “Anyway, since you’re here. Would you be willing to tell me what happened yesterday?" He reached his hand up to scratch the back of his head."I could also help with that fish stuff you do!”
